Action Alert: Attempt to Boycott Costco for Selling Israeli Products
Builders of Zion has received an action alert from One Jerusalem stating that there is an attempt to boycott Costco, the membership retail company, because they are reportedly selling fruit grown in Israel. If it is true, that Costco is selling Israeli grown fruit, it is a wonderful thing and we should encourage the company to continue. In fact, we should take things another step and ask Costco to sell more Israeli products. In a time when the world is trying to force a retreat from the Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria we must do what we can to help our Jewish brothers and sisters.
You can help by visiting the One Jerusalem web-page to respond the the action alert, the address is: http://www.onejerusalem.org/2010/01/costco-is-target-of-boycott-fo.php.
Sandra Warmoth, Builders of Zion’s International Relations Director, sent the following response to Costco. You may copy this text to use for your response or develop one of your own. Please let Costco know that we appreciate them selling Israeli goods and do not want to see them cave in to pressure from attempts to boycott their stores. Sandra’s letter follows:
To whom it may concern in Corporate:
I am a customer at Costco who is quite concerned about the campaign to boycott Israeli products from your stores. Apparently one of your employees, Mark DeCosta (425-313-8100) in produce, gave ear to one of these boycotters, who stated that products, such as the clementines you sell from Israel, should be taken off of your shelves. The reason this boycotter provided to justify such action is the so-called “Gaza genocide” that supposedly took place a year ago. This sadly misinformed individual was trumpeting Islamic propaganda that continues to circulate unabated regarding Operation Cast Lead: a military operation that the Israeli Defense Forces launched in defense of the Israeli communities nearby Gaza that were under constant bombardment of HAMAS rockets. I have been to those Gaza-belt communities and have seen the stockpiles of spent rockets that have been aimed at Jewish citizens living there. I have walked through the bomb shelters and smelled the strong stench of urine left behind by the frightened Jewish school children who have just seconds to run for shelter during the red alerts. The Jewish children and their families live in terror each day — Islamic terror, which is becoming so common place throughout our global community.
Not only should Costco sell Israeli clementines, it should purchase kosher wines from the northern Jewish communities that maintain their vineyards while under the constant threat of Hizb’Allah Islamists along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. In fact, Costco should work with the Shomron Regional Council to purchase numerous products produced throughout the areas within the so-called “Green Line” in an effort to support the Jews throughout the so-called “west bank” communities of Judea and Samaria.
The Jewish homesteaders who live over the so-called “Green Line” are NOT the main obstacle to historic peace between Israel and her “palestinian” neighbors, as purported. The “palestinians” are, in fact, Sunni Muslim squatters from the surrounding Arab and Muslim lands who are being used by the Arab-Muslim bloc to fight an Islamic war by proxy on the strategic high-tops of Judea and Samaria. By generating ample heart-wrenching stories of “palestinian” oppression and victimization, the Islamic propaganda machine attracts more “freedom fighters” to further the Islamic revolutionary movement while peddling the Israeli “occupation” lie to the international community to divert the spot-light from the fact that millions of Arabs and Muslims, who control 7,673,024 square miles of territory in the Greater Middle East, want to obliterate the Jewish State, which controls only 8,463 square miles of territory within this same region. This made-for-television fabrication bewitchingly tugs at the humanistic heartstrings of our global village’s unsuspecting masses; generates attention-grabbing international headlines, and pressures our world leaders into promoting a de facto “palestine” in an effort to appease “Muslim sensitivities,” which are conveniently tied to threats of extinguishing world peace. The unrelenting physical attacks and disinformation campaigns against the Jewish State are thus a mainstay for revolutionary Islam’s global push for world domination.
The Islamic scheme of world domination involves numerous terrorist groups, such as the Iranian proxy group Hizb’Allah, and Asbat al-Ansar, a primarily “palestinian” group linked to Al-Qaeda, both situated at Israel’s northern tip; the de facto “palestinian” HAMAS governance, its concentration of pro-Al Qaeda global jihadist groups, and the break-a-way pLO factions operating in Gaza at Israel’s southern tip; the “palestine” Islamic Jihad and Popular Front for the Liberation of “palestine” from Israel’s east bank, and the whitewashed pLO/Al-Fatah/Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade groups that evolved into the “palestinian” Authority, which currently operates under the Fatah-chief-turned-“palestinian president” Mahmoud Abbas within the so-called “west bank” of Israel’s historical and Biblical heartland. All of these Islamist groups are fighting for control over Judea and Samaria within the Fertile Crescent Region, and in the process, they seek to make the area judenrein.
What does this all mean to you?
A Judea and Samaria without a Jewish presence would mean the absence of a democratic check to keep the Islamists from tying together the Asian and African continents to form a vast Islamic caliphate that will cause the entire Greater Middle East to fall under Shari’ah law. What is more, this development would enable these Islamist groups, and their state sponsors Iran and Syria, to further penetrate deep into Asia and Africa to further spread the revolution. The entire dynamic would radically alter the balance of power on the world stage, elevate the threat of nuclear Islamist-backed terror, and create the climate for worldwide insurrections generated by the Muslim Ummah, which is poised within every host country throughout what remains of our free world.
Sell the clementines. Purchase the kosher wine. Look into the many other excellent products that the Jews are producing to make our global village a more pleasant place to live. Some over-the-”Green-Line” products that would sell well in Costco include, but are certainly not limited to, Ahavah natural cosmetics from Mitzpeh Shalem, Beigel & Beigel pretzels from Barkan, Beitili furniture from Barkan, Har-Shefi boxes from Beit El, and Keter plastic furniture from Barkan.
While you are at it, you can get a real education on the Middle East by visiting my web-site at www.buildersofzion.org. I am an independent journalist who has studied revolutionary movements and political violence as a political scientist. I am also an ordained minister who refuses to sanitize Islam, and who speaks openly about the religious warfare that Islamists are waging against the civilized world. The mainstream media is not tackling this proliferating matter, which threatens the whole of humanity, as their collective objectivity has been largely bought up by petro-dollars, which fuel 75% of the typical news budgets.
For my part, I will, indeed, look for the Israeli products on your shelves, and my continued membership at Costco will be tied to your unabashed procurement of such items in support of the Jewish State.
With kindest regards,
Sandra Warmoth
